Yet Another Shooting
The learning curve seems awfully steep here: point a gun at the police, get shot, maybe die. Yet people keep doing it:
A man shot by police early Sunday in the Marquette Park neighborhood on the South Side has died from his injuries.
At approximately 2:13 a.m., a Chicago Lawn District unit responded to a call of shots fired on the 6100 block of South Kedzie Avenue, according to police News Affairs.
An adult male was shot by police and died from his injuries Sunday morning, according to Independent Police Review Authority spokesman Mark Payne.
Again, thank goodness the cops are OK and the offender is dead. The other shooting this weekend involved something as routine and simple as an expired plate - not that anything is routine or simple nowadays.
Be safe boys and girls.
Be safe boys and girls.

If your battery goes a chirpy chirpy, stop what you are doing and go back to your unit of assignment and get a new battery.
If police change their batteries at any police station, then some police stations will end up with too many batteries, thereby leaving other police stations with not enough batteries.

Ok, you dumb ass. If you change your battery at ANY police station...
Guess what... EVERY STATION WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF BATTERIES!
YOUR GIVING THEM ONE FOR ONE IN RETURN. No station will have less.
YOU ARE AN ASSHAT SIR!
But most likely be a fricken boss one day!
OT I have to tell you guys. Today I was walking in my neighborhood in the 017th district
I heard a squad car with the emergency equipment going (on days so he probably has been around awhile) racing to get to a call.
Now as we all know, the faster we arrive at a scene the more likely it is that it will be dangerous when we get there.
And yet here was this officer racing to get there in the shortest time possible.
What I found amazing and made me so proud, was the fact that not far away from this location one of our fallen was laying, and still this officer kept his oath to serve and protect the City if Chicago
It made me proud to have been a member of the organization ( much maligned lately) called the Chicago Police Dept
Please stay safe and keep up your fine work

nothing is routine. washington park a few days ago. officer handcuffs guy around 20 for weed. guy is no problem. two women attack officer as his back is turned. big women to boot - one well over 200 pounds. partner and officer ok. they would have killed officer if they got his gun. no doubt about it. high on who knows what. 002, 003 and 021 all did a great job responding. I work a beat car in 002 and thank all the units that responded. Just their presence on site stopped a near fiasco. Be safe.
These punks think they are better 'con la pistola' than the police. Well, there's one who won't be able to say to his boys, "Not too smart playing Quick Draw McGraw" in Da Lawn. Too bad the CCASA's aren't this effective in their prosecutions when these clowns get arrested for UUW.
It can happen anytime or anywhere.
One gangbanger shoots another gangbanger then points his gun at police and is ended. Both bangers deceased and police are okay. Good job. Well done.
Yet another great example of the dedication and bravery of our men in blue. We joined this circus to be the damn police and not victims, so damn yo mamma and here is a daisy for your grave; draw down on us and you going to get your ass shot. Stay safe guys, watch your back and you partner’s and don’t wait to be a victim, shoot straight and true.
Great job by the fighting 008, understaffed and overworked but in the fight everyday!
Off topic: Alot of people on this blog talk about how it was take jfed or the feds take over. Total bullshit..Did they offer jfed to detroit , la etc. Jfed is here as a hatchet man for the mayor. Our scandals, for a police dept our size were not out of the norm. Of the depts taken over by feds it was over civil rights violations,except detroit.
(OT) heard 008 got a new "MERIT" sgt Lee B. be careful this snake will rat you out is a heartbeat he worked all over always alone, maybe he could tell you his war stories about how he set up many on wires with the feds! Ask him why no one wanted to work with him? go ahead ask? Maybe he could not be trusted that is why he was "merit" for snitching?
Please stat safe out there. Mayor mumbles and the bosses dont give a shit about PO's. Back each other up and wait for your back up. Be smart and go home safe. Take your time writing a report for all the BS calls and let the districts stay backlogged. There is no reason for the shotage of manpower or no contract. Dont let Daleys greed get you hurt.
Fuck them don't go into Washington Park maybe they will all shoot each other...
Outstanding job fellow coppers, keep up the good work. Stay proficient with your firearms and equipment. Never know when you might need it.
The guy shot and killed by the police had just shot and killed a rival gangbanger at 61st and Kedzie. Police were responding to the gunfire when they saw the homicide offender running from the scene. They chase him into an alley and he ups the gun on the police. Goodbye.
One less vote for Obama.
To the Officers involved in the shooting on Kedzie, Thank God your ok and the bad guy is in a better place now. What the people on this blog don't know is that the Police officers involved in this shooting are two of the best Police officers on the job. The always bring in the best arrests and are truly a credit to the job.

As a taxpayer and regular joe citizen,I find this much more cost effective.Keep up the good work.
Great jobs CPD - please stay safe out there and THANK YOU SO MUCH for being out there dealing with the stuff no one wants to and most are never brave enough to.
God bless you guys and please do know a lot of people love, respect, and admire what you all do day in and day out.
Never mind the shooting. take a look at your investments, your going to need another 10 years before you break even. good god retirement?
2:13am? Oh no! I hope they got another altar boy to cover his mass! ;-)
Thank God for "BACK 2 THE STREET PROGRAM"!!!!!! More time for a good lunch
They don't learn that pointing guns at the police may be hazardous to their health...
IF they had a little bit of brains, we would all have to get honest jobs and work for a living.

LOL
Is this the TENTH (10TH) POLICE SHOOTING within 4 weeks? Can someone post all the police shootings, including the fire investigator that got shot.
Daley is ranting & raving in public about the 2nd amendment that would legally allow law-abiding citizens to at least have a gun within their own home for safety; YET not one word about these thugs with guns confidently carrying concealed WITH criminal intent. Mayor midget, WHO ARE YOU REALLY AFRAID OF? and if Jfed has bodyguards, same goes for him.
I used to be an ASA in Cook County in the mid 80's. One time when on felony review I was leaving Area 1 going past the Robert Taylor Homes around 2:00 a.m. All of a sudden a kid wearing a white T-shirt and white high tops, carrying a gun, ran in front of my car and disappeared between some buildings. Couldn't see anything except the white blur and the gun. A few seconds later I saw a big bellied copper chasing him--running almost as fast--run in front of my car and down between the dark buildings with his gun out. Copper was breathing hard, but he was still motoring after him when they disappeared in the dark. No other squads in sight.
Never found out what happened, but I thought it was one of the bravest things I had ever seen. The cop didn't have to do what he did--he could have stopped and just said the kid outran him in the dark--no one would have second-guessed him. But he was out there trying.
My point is that you guys do a lot of extremely brave things that don't go completely unrecognized. Good people know how tough your job is. Keep doing your job, because it's the right thing to do. You'll get your reward some day. Just be safe.
Two more gang members we do not have to worry about in our neighborhood. THANKS - VERY GOOD JOB DONE.

Jackass!
If you're consistently turning in a battery within 8 hours THE BATTERY IS NO GOOD. Like your mind, batteries do not last forever.

Who did this happen to! I worked in 002 for years... Glad I'm out, I hear how bad it's gotten. Be safe 002 - Your in my prayers!
This is great and all,
but what about the common Joe on the streets?
Where is their CCW? Where is their own public ranges they could go to, within the city?
Very proud of the officers involved in the shooting... Thank God they are ok. Keep your eyes open boys and girls its a jungle out there.
,,,,Who did this happen to! I worked in 002 for years... Glad I'm out, I hear how bad it's gotten. Be safe 002 -
Hey all of the projects have been torn down in the deuce and another quarter of the district has been rebuilted with six firgued housing, the natives have been reduced by more then 60%, so where are all of these stuff guys coming from.......
The Southside is up for grabs these days,remember the rules.
You always go home at the end of your tour no matter what,you go home the same way you came to work.

Whoever posted this garbage, YOU, my friend, is what is wrong with the CPD today. Lee is not, nor has he ever been "a snitch." What Lee has been for quite a number of years is a hard working, very capable detective. If you don't like the guy, fine, we got that.
But don't come here posting a bunch of lies an garbage. SCC, it wouldn't hurt for you to do a better job of monitoring the crap you decide to post here. MOST of the people who were promoted meritoriously were hard chargers.
Of course, this being Chicago, a few bums got through, but trust me, Lee has more than earned his stripes. Maybe the poster should drop by the Chicago Lawn District and share his feelings personally with the Sgt., rather than posting them here in the routine cowardly fashion.
Lee is on the ball. He put in many hours in Area 1 and is true blue. Please try respecting others as you would your own family members. We are the CPD family. Get something worthwhile to blog about. Congrats Lee.
We'll see you out there. From the Midnight Gang Team.

ok lee still talking about yourself as usual your a hero in your own mind sgt stupid!
002, 003 and 021 all did a great job responding. I work a beat car in 002 and thank all the units that responded. Just their presence on site stopped a near fiasco. Be safe.
ANY TIME BROTHER/SISTER. 003 COP
"MOST of the people who were promoted meritoriously were hard chargers.

Ok Lee, keep on rationalizing your existence& career.
He was a whiner crybaby in the Academy,His HRI Pufundt told him to grow up.He married a Capt.'s daughter then his career took off. He's the embodiment of what's wrong w/this department.
Spent his entire career as a Desk Dolly & Specialized Units.Lets see how quickly he's out of 008 & safely back in HIDTA w/the rest of the doing nothing clout hacks.
According to Channel 7 News and Charles Thomas, the Mayor had a meeting regarding the "Taste" incidents and stated that this latest meeting has left J-Fed in the "HOT SEAT!" It must be getting just a bit hot at 35th & Michigan and I'm sure all the exempt that basically were forced into retirement are laughing their asses off!
Im dumping my stock in grape soda and flamming hot cheese puffs.With this attrition rate the lower customer base will hurt sales.
"Gangbangers are no problem","Gangbangers bring their families". so says Mayor Daley. He said this on the news Tuesday night. So does he mean to say, that the shooting and fights are something the public should tolerate at the Taste? Another stammering utterance from our great Hizzoner. For those who have no clue, read the book CLOUT
Did anybody mention the melee in 018 last weekend at 1365 N. Hudson? A mob started throwing bottles and anything else they could pick up at the police. One officer was hit with a bottle and had to be hospitalized.
Lee is on the ball. He put in many hours in Area 1 and is true blue. Please try respecting others as you would your own family members. We are the CPD family. Get something worthwhile to blog about. Congrats Lee.
